MAKING GOD LOOK GOOD

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 CORINTHIANS 10:31

MORE THAN 500 TIMES the word glory is connected to God in the Bible. But what does it mean? Look up the word glory in the Merriam- Webster dictionary and you will find several definitions including
1. "Praise and  honor" often associated with worship,
2. Something that secure praise such as "he had a glorious career",
3. Magnificent like referring to the glory of Greece, and
4. A ray or spot if light such as a halo.
       You undoubtedly recall that when Jesus was born, angels hovered in the fields outside of Bethlehem and proclaimed, " Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his fabory rests" (Luke 2:14).
       Theologians tell you the glory of God is the manifestation of His being, nature, person and character. "OK," you say, "but just what does that mean? In your personal life do you strive to glorify God? And is there more to that than simply saying " Praised the Lord"?
       So what does it mean to glorify God in the 21st century?
Parr of the answer is by how you treat your wife, your husband, your children. By displsyingy honesty and integrity.
       Want to make God look good? There are two ways you can; by what you day and how you live. One is your verbal witness. The second is your visual witness God I habited the praises if His people and wants to receive praise, honor and glory, but you also glorify Him by your life, by making Himlook good. Making God look good is what bringing glory to him is ak! About.
